How to Boost Structural Health Monitoring with IoT Sensors

Structural health monitoring (SHM) is the ongoing, near-real-time, or real-time observation and measurement of the structural performance of civil infrastructure. Buildings and structures are always undergoing some degree of stress. That could be due to weather or environmental impacts, construction on, in or around the structure, or simply the age of the structure. Establishing an …

3 Ways IoT Sensors Will Transform the Role of Engineers

The internet of things (IoT) is connecting devices and sensors to the internet so that they can communicate with each other and share data. This interconnectedness is transforming how we live, work, and play. In the future, IoT sensors will become more ubiquitous and sophisticated, collecting ever-more detailed data about our environment. With the rise …

How Displacement Monitoring Can Supercharge Geotechnical Engineers’ Advice

Displacement monitoring is an increasingly important part of geotechnical engineering. By collecting accurate data on displacement, engineers can make better-informed decisions about the stability of a structure or landform. However, traditional displacement monitoring solutions can be expensive and time-consuming. Automated displacement monitoring solutions offer a more efficient, frequent and cost-effective way to collect displacement data. …
